The History of the Uffizi Gallery

Built in the 16th century at the behest of Cosimo I de’ Medici and designed by Giorgio Vasari, the Uffizi Gallery was originally intended to house administrative offices. It soon became the place where the Medici displayed their art collection, transforming it into one of the most prestigious and visited museums in the world.
